Running it from a console (no X installed) Turns out that if I ssh using putty it works sort of fine.

A ncurses problem or perhaps some colour or display settings??? are you running this from a console or on a x terminal window? if it's a terminal window, do you have some wacky font selected that isn't fixed width or has some other strange properties? try running it from just a plain "xterm" (i.e. type xterm at your prompt and run in that) or run it on a console (ctrl-alt-f1 usually to switch). -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
